Installing the Base Station
3.
Using the supplied CAT-5 cables, connect the lightning protector to the base station.
• For the primary antenna, connect to the ANT1 port
• For the secondary antenna, connect to the ANT2 port
Make sure the cable connector is torqued to 1.35 N·m (11.9 lbf-in) at the base station end.
4.
Make sure the antenna is properly grounded according to local standards.
Section 2.8
Grounding the Base Station
The base station is considered to be connected to a centralized DC power system. Therefore, the power cable
should be grounded.
The base station should be permanently connected to ground/Earth with a 16 AWG cable or less..
The following illustrates the methods of power grounding, as defined by the UL 60950-1 standard and according
to UL 60950-22 requirements.
NOTE
When the base station is connected to a centralized DC power system, the + side of the power supply
should be grounded.
